,Question 1
A practical nursing student is preparing for the NCLEX-PN
examination. The student states, “The examination will ask
every candidate the same number of questions.” Which
response by the instructor is correct?
A. “Each candidate receives the same questions in the same
order.”
B. “The NCLEX-PN examination uses computerized adaptive
testing.”
C. “The examination difficulty level remains constant
throughout testing.”
D. “Candidates may skip difficult questions and return to them
later.”
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The NCLEX-PN examination uses computerized adaptive testing
(CAT), which adjusts question difficulty based on the
candidate’s responses. Correct answers result in more difficult
questions, while incorrect answers lead to easier items.
Option A is incorrect because each candidate receives a unique
examination.
Option C is incorrect because question difficulty changes during
the examination.
Option D is incorrect because candidates cannot skip questions
or return to previous items.
